Cold Mining in North Carolina.

North Carolina Is still one Of the gold

thousand dollars annually. Georgia, which
turns out somewhat less than North Caro-
lima, is also gold state. Before the exc

producers of the Union, Virginia, Alabama
and South Carolina also contributing
something to the stock of precious metals,
but in the presence of the rich mines of

coast lost all their Importance Eeyerthe-
less mining operations are carried on to

hills. The Sam Christian mine, in Mont
